Now that the 2024 total solar eclipse has come and gone, the United States will not see another total eclipse for another two decades. But those safety glasses could come in handy for other people. If so inclined, there are a few ways to donate them so that others around the world can safely experience an upcoming solar eclipse in their area. Glasses retailer Warby Parker has partnered with the organization Astronomers Without Borders to help recycle and redistribute ISO-certified solar eclipse glasses to those with fewer resources. A Warby Parker representative confirmed to FOX Business on Tuesday that the company — headquartered in New York City — is accepting donations. People can bring their 'gently used' solar eclipse glasses to any Warby Parker location until April 30, the Warby Parker website notes

If so inclined, there are a few ways to donate them so that others around the world can safely experience an upcoming solar eclipse in their area.
Another organization that is collecting eclipse glasses is Eclipse Glasses USA, a Utah-based company that sells ISO-certified eclipse glasses. People can mail their donated solar eclipse glasses to Eclipse Glasses USA using a USPS first-class mail envelope, says the company's website.
All shipments will be opened and inspected before being repackaged for outbound shipment. Damaged or unusable glasses will be discarded," Eclipse Glasses USA noted. Donations are accepted up until Aug. 1. GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE On Oct. 2, 2024, parts of Latin America will experience an "annular solar eclipse." These eclipses occur when the moon does not completely block out the sun, creating a "ring of fire" effect.
